No, there’s nothing transformational here; it’s just the Steely Dan band giving you the good stuff.
Steely Dan’s “Hey Nineteen” has aged reasonably well. Unfortunately, the live versions are now missing two critical elements that Walter Becker provided.
“Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,” Steely Dan’s most popular single, doesn’t consistently make it on the set list. Are they bored with it too?
There’s a good reason that “Kid Charlemagne” debuted on the Citizen Steely Dan Tour in 1994 and has never left the setlist.
This lineup has played together longer than any incarnation of Steely Dan, so the results overall are excellent.
I’ve reached the end of this collection of great Donald Fagen songs with mixed feelings.
Unfortunately, “The Goodbye Look” from Donald Fagen’s ‘The Nightfly Live’ just tries too hard to recreate perfection.
The title track from Donald Fagen’s acclaimed 1982 album ‘The Nightfly’ is not quite as road-tested as “New Frontier.”
A fellow Something Else! Dan-ophile once argued that “New Frontier” was one of Donald Fagen’s best songs. I didn’t agree then, but my mind’s been changed.
